“Kill him, Mike! KILL him” her voice echoed in that empty bar. BOOM… there’s a flash and my hands and legs froze for that moment. By the time I realized, all I could see was a dagger in my left hand and my bloodshed right hand. I saw her laughing out loud and telling me, [...]

“A Martini please!” “Martini please?” Shivi demanded the bartender. Oops! Was I lost it again? Andy and I know each other for quite some time. He indeed is one of the reasons I met Shivi. We graduated from the same college, we’d gone for a lot of parties together and did many a thing [...]

The door knock woke me up, I dragged myself out of the bed with a heavy headache cursing myself for drinking too much. “Mikey… It’s me, open the door! How many times I told you not to put the latch on?” Um… sorry, Shivi! I’m down with a headache. “Whatever! I have no time for [...]

Freshly brewed black coffee! As I say that, my senses have been activated. I always used to wonder how the world would’ve been if there’s no coffee. And my response would be like the filmy ‘No’!

It's never easy... Here’s what I’ve got while I was drowning myself in an ocean of caffeine.
